Haha! I don’t follow as many as you, but a few hundred are already tiring to keep track. The 50kmh and 25kmh are good suggestions. I actually follow the lists I created in twitter though, but groups sounds like a better idea. thanks! But i can only revamp once i’m absolutely free!

totally agree with the last productivity tip. now that i switched off the notifications, i don’t have the need to be paranoid about updates. Haha. Sorta.

Haha, the 25 and 50 km/h is a great idea. Never even thought of that b4

@Mark: Sure you can add another column, just that you’ll have to scroll left and right, and that might be annoying. Or, get a 2048 x 1800 resolution monitor!

@blogjunkie: Great minds, eh?

@Ben_Israel: I used to have a search that would pick up “TheBackpackr” but realise it was eating up my APIs as a shark devouring plankton, so I dropped it. AND, it doesn’t pick up Mentions from those who have “private status” set. Good point on the foreign timezone influencers.

@reubenhot: Reuben who? :p

@ChengLeng: Resist the urge to scroll, you must. Evilll…

Like you I have tried all sorts of ways to filter into columns. I’ve got “Tech Bloggers”, “Singapore”, “Malaysia” …

And I scroll down more often than I should.

Great post! I didn’t realise you could turn off the notification. Thanks. I wish it had the option of notifying me of direct mentions only tho’

Here’s my 5 cents:

I find that MENTIONS / REPLIES doesn’t pick up everything. So I have a column with search results for my Twitter handle, i.e. anything that mentions ben_israel. Great thing about this is that it picks up tweets with my name with or without the “@”. Some people miss it out.

I also have a column for “influencers”. These are experts, gurus and thought-leaders whom I follow, e.g. Jeremiah Owyang or NYT’s Tim O’Brien. And, depending on timezone, these tweets are usually active in the night. If i mixed them with everyone else, it will get lost amongst the rest of the conversations.
